Analysis of Remembering Salinger
What would fame bring
what would it change
One iota of truth
the stoppage of rain
Living exposed
the arrows to sling
You know what you know
whether knave or a king
Accolades fall
slaps on the back
Stumble or stall
and your patron’s attack
Life in the shadows
freedom proclaimed
Famously absent
—yourself to ordain
(Dreamsleep: October, 2022)
